Dissatisfied Dinlomnts.

Americans apparently do not find St.
Petersburg a pleasant place of residence.
Our Consul General at that city, Mr..
Pierce M. B. Young, has signed, and it
is stated that Minister LOthrOp will soon
send his resignation to the State Depart
ment. There are plenty of ambitious
statesmen, however, who are ready to
succeed them. Mr.. Young is in Wash
ingtOn trying 10 get appointed to the
Turkish Mission. 1t is reported that his
prospects are not at all promising, and
why should they be2 He may be a shrewd
dIplomatist, but shrewdness is not needed
in a Minister to Turkey. All that is neces-
sary for a Minister there to
know is how TO keep out of
trouble. Mr.. Young has had one
good appointment, and in view of the
tact that there are thousands of applI-
cants for office who have received nothing
whatever from the administration, it is
not probable that he will receive another.
Minister Lothrop doubtless finds the
climate too severe for him. There is no
hint that he has not been able to agree
with the Secretary of State. No matters of
Importance, so far as the public is In
formed, have arisen between this country
and Russia since he has been Minister,
and hence it 10 not probable that he has
had any trouble with Secretary Bayard.
Mr.. Bayard has not had iirst-class sue
cess in his foreign appointments. 1t may
be that congressman have been so eager
g nd in hahalf nj tbair Ia baf
the Secretary hasn't been able to exercise
his judgment freely. Whatever the truth
may be 1t is certain that several officials
holding important positions have re-
signed.
II is somewhat remarkable that Mr..
LOthrop desired the Russian mission.
lie is an old man and is rich. He must
have known that the climate of st.
Petersburg would not agree with him.
He nevertheless accepted the mission
there and, having enjoyed it for a short
time. wants to return home.
Men ought to be appointed to foreign
missions who not only know how to act
intelligentlY and promptly In an emer-
gency, but who are likely to retain their
office for the full term OF their appoint
ment. MIR. Bayard seems to have
obliged TOO many Of his
friends, tor the good OF the diplomatic
branch Of the public service. So many res
ignatiOns create the impression either
that it is difficult to get along with the
State Department under its present chief,
or else good Judgment was not displayed
IN making appointments to diplomatic Of
ices.

At the convention OF the women Sill =
fragists, which has just closed In Phila-
helphia, Mrs. May Wright Sewall, OF In
dlauapolis, dared anybody to say that wo-
men should not vote because they cannot
fight. There was no answer, which sug-
gests that, perhaps, all the men in the
audience were married and knew that,
whether women should vote or not, they
certainly can fight.

The railroad attorney bill which the
Senate has been considering calls TO mind
that Congress prohibits It's members
from practicing in the Court OF Claims,
and also from practicing before any Of
the departments OF the government. II
IL an unpleasant commentary upon Con.
gress that such prohibitions were found
necessary; but, since they were necesss.
ry, 1t is gratifying TO know that saG.
oient number OF Congressman were found
70 insist upon them.

1t seems that the Guyandotte, the
steamer injured by the explosion of an in
fernal machine ct sea on Monday, be-
longs to the line against which the great
strike in New York was originally aimed.
IL will be difficult to prevent the public
fIom believing that the strikers were con-
cernod in the outrage. Their leaders de-
ny completely, but they should go a step
further and make vigorous search Tor
Inc wretch who placed the machine on
the steamer.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, has dis
covered what he calls the "vicious
clsmor' of the newspapers. The Senator
can claim no honor on account OF the dis.
covery. Thousands OF politicians dis
covered that same "vicious clamor" long
before he entered public life. 1t is
strange, too, that they made the discovery
just about the time some Of their ques
tionable transactions were shown up by
the news papers.

1t is related that a woman of Logans-

and not wishing TO alarm the family, set

for the night when che was startled by a
series OF vigorous yells, and investigating

Senators make it rule to be in their

do hear the prayers.

Didn't Bite at MIR. Ives's Offer.

New YORK, Aug. 26.-An evening paper says:
shortly before o'clock last night, Henry >.
Ives accompanied by his partner, Staynor, and
Assignee Cromwell, went to New Brunswick, n.
J., and after spending nearly an hour at dinner,
irove over the Raritan river to the mansion or
Mr. Christopher Meyer, now first ce-president
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad
Mr.. Meyer was not aware of the coming OF the
gentlemen until a very short time before their
arrival Mr. Ives carried small day-book to
which he invited the attention of Mr.. Meyer
He said it was a statement of Ives q Co s AFFAIRS,
and showed surplus of 81 600, 600 in the shape
Of securities held by various persons who had
advanced money on them He told Mr. Meyer
that If he would advance the amount loaned
these securities, some So, 00G, 900, it would
enable the firm to pull through and make good
every dollar He afraid, he said, that in
another week these securities would be thrown
the market and slaughtered. They consist of
$500, 600 in Chemical Bank stock, $500. 600 in
government bonds, $1,000 900 III Cincinnati,
Hamilton q Dayton and $3.50. 600 in Chicago
and Peoria local securities. Assignee Crom we'll
said that he was confident the securities would
become very valuable if the firm given a
reasonable time to realize upon them. Mr..
Meyer did not appear to be anxious TO discuss
the matter and expressed desire to be let
alone. He had had enough, he said, of the
firm, being already a creditor to a large amount.
The subject was then gone all over again, and at
10 o'clock the party left without having accom-
Dlished any Thing.

among them that money would be forthcoming
from such aid them in of

claim they are accommodating facts which prove
that it meant by the clique use the

Freieht-Car Famine in the South.

The freight-car famine which has been so seri

East for several months past is beginning to
make itself felt in Louisville, says the Courier
Journal, and as a consequence the construction
depar tments being considerably stirred up.
For several weeks there has been a steady busl-
increase, and merchants generally have
been advancing the number of their shipments,
that the supply of box cars and gondolas has
proved inadequate to the demand. AT Indian
apolis Jeffersonvile and other places where the
cars are constructed, additional forces have been
employed, and for the next few months will be
kept busy filing orders for all kinds of cars.

struction large number of gondoas, which will
